Wildcat Mountain (Wildcat A) is the tallest and easternmost peak in the Wildcat group. There are actually several sub peaks (west to east: Wildcat E, D, C and B; the two that count on the New Hampshire 4,000 footer list are Wildcat A and Wildcat D) leading up to the main Wildcat as you climb the long ridgeline up from Pinkham Notch past the ski area. Because of this, Wildcat Mountain is a challenging, but rewarding peak to get to!
